#2The compiler one is pretty neat. Hung IntelliJ. Didn't hang VS.NET. Had both open, had to try.

#3The compile-time version will hang a Clojure REPL, too:
user=> (def d 2.2250738585072012e-308)

Tried it in Jython too, of course it fails. I'd have been more surprised if it worked, but it's still amusing and had to see it.

makes sense, same thing in scala:
Welcome to Scala version 2.8.1.final (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, Java 1.6.0_22). Type in expressions to have them evaluated. Type :help for more information.
scala> 2.2250738585072012e-308
(infinite loop)

#6I have a feeling we will see this come up in more places. When we fixed the code for PHP we saw very similar code in a lot of other projects.

Just to confirm .NET/C# handles this and correctly. So does IronScheme.

#8I remember when everyone was bashing PHP (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2066084) when they were bitten by the same issue. Then there were articles about this being maybe a GCC bug or at least design issue but people were still saying that it's PHP's duty to take care of this.
I was always afraid that this might bite other environments too as the code that caused the issue in PHP was apparently taken from elsewhere (see http://blog.andreas.org/display?id=9 for a detailed analysis of the problem). Now this is turning out to be true.

#9"Konstantin reported this problem to Oracle three weeks ago, but is still waiting for a reply."
This speaks volumes about Oracle as the Java's steward.
